   as i mentioned in my earlier post, all i was trying to verify on
that first attempt was to ascertain whether or not what happened
*shouldn't* have happened.  if it's truly a bug, then i'll BZ it.  if
not, i'll forget about it.  but if i do something as apparently
innocuous as "yum update gcc" and it blows up whining about
libmudflap-devel, that strikes me as something out of the ordinary and
unexpected.
